Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Nishan-e-Imtiaz (Military), Courage chaired the 272nd Corps Commanders Conference at General Headquarters (GHQ) Rawalpindi. The meeting started with Fateha Khawani for the martyrs of the recent terrorist attacks, which were organized by Indian terrorist proxies. The Army Chief appreciated the spirit, determination and morale of the Pak forces, which emerged prominently during massive relief and rescue operations in collaboration with the civil administration and other law enforcement agencies in the aftermath of the war against foreign sponsored terrorists and recent floods. The forum provided a detailed overview of ongoing counter-terrorism operations, emerging threats and operational preparedness. The Forum reaffirmed its commitment that Pak forces are ever ready to thwart all sinister designs of enemies of Pakistan. The current nexus of terrorism and crime, which is undermining the security of the state and the people due to some political patronage, will not be tolerated. The Forum expressed serious concern over recent irresponsible and provocative statements by the Indian political and military leadership. Participants stated that this practice of India reflects a tendency to incite war frenzy for political purposes, which seriously threatens peace and stability in the region. The Conference made it clear that any aggression by India will be responded to promptly and decisively, so as to break the notion of any kind of security based on geography.
